We arrived at our little cottage by the sea. “The Boathouse “ is our first home reserved through the home exchange program known as “Third Home”. It is a sweet little cottage with a view of the sea.


Best of all was our reunion with the Shriver’s. dear friends of over 40 years.

We had a very full first day. First we explored Sherkin Island, a short ferry ride from the Baltimore harbor. We intended to rent bikes and ride the rural roads but there was not a bike rental to be found. Instead did a three mile hike along one of the designated routes. It felt like we had the island to ourselves.






We decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and head to Mizen Head with David and Carole. It is the most southwesterly point of Ireland. It was fantastic.
